Abstract
This chapter compares the media coverage of wars in Yemen and Syria by the European media (the selection of these media is discussed in the methodology part). The researchers examined how the online news of leading newspapers (The Independent, British, NRC Handelsblad, the Netherlands) and the international broadcast news (France24, Franc, and Swissinfo.ch, Switzerland) report on both wars. The aim of this chapter is to compare the amount of the coverage devoted on the deadliest conflicts that took place in Yemen and Syria for two years by four prestigious European media. This chapter also examines the four online English news media frames used in reporting the two cases, and whether they significantly differ in their news coverage. This chapter works against the third and fourth chapters in terms of the nature of the conflicts and how the European media presented them in the light of contradictory or incomplete facts.
